Nigel Short eini farþeginn í farþegaþotu!

Stórmeistarinn Nigel Short varð fyrir þeirri sérkennilegu upplifun að vera eini farþeginn í þotu sem var að fljúga á milli Suður-Afríku og Simbabve. Vélin tekur 168 farþega og gat Short því valið á milli allmargra sæta!

Í grein Today segir meðal annars: 

Short was told at check-in to not to be late for boarding as there was only four passengers on the flight. However, when he arrived at the gate, he found he was the only one.

He told TODAY.com he thought he had arrived at the wrong gate or had the time wrong, going back four or five times to check.

When the flight crew arrived, Short was told he would be the only passenger . Despite the unlimited seating options on offer, Short chose to sit in his assigned economy seat rather than move to first or business class. He later moved to a window seat to get a look at the view.

I am not saying they are losing money, but I was the sole passenger on the Air Zimbabwe 737 from Jo'burg-Victoria Falls.
